Project Groups

In line with the 1997 recommendations of the German Science Council a flexible Project Group structure was established within RKI. Its goal is a targeted focusing of research on selected areas, regardless of other acute research requirements. The topics covered include interdisciplinary issues which have a medium and long-term impact on the health protection of the population. The activities of the Project Groups are linked to the research in the different departments.
